How can we say that which acids are highly ionised and which are not. |
|
Answer» An acid or base\'s strength refers to its degree of ionization. A strong acid will completely ionize in water while a weak acid will only partially ionize.??????Since there are different degrees of ionization, there are different levels of weakness. Fortunately, there is a simple quantitative way of expressing this.??????? If an acid is said to be highly ionised then it must dissociate into H+ ions to form protic acid ....... A strong acid completely ionizes (dissociates into ions), i.e. 1 mole of HCl completely ionizes forming 1 mole of H3O+ and 1 mole of Cl-. ... A weak acid does not completely ionize which means that an equilibrium exists between the unionized acid and the ionized acid. |
